Reports ON the Condition of the
Winter Wheat Crep.

CHICAGO. Feb. 13.-The following sum-
mary will be printed in this weeks issue of
the Farmers Review: The reports as to
the condition of winter wheat continue to
be generally of fav orable character with
the exception of those from Kansas, where,
in majority of the counties. the outlook
is regarded as poor. The latest reports
were all made prior to the cold wave of
Friday night, and the resulting damage to
exposed fields, if any, has not yet been
fully disclosed. The reports from Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio state that the plant is
looking green and tender, but that broad
areas are entirely exposed. and indicating
that the crop would be subjected to a GER
tain amount of peril in the event
of freezing weather. In Adams, Crawford
johnson, Richland and White counties, of
Illinois, the fields are covered with ice and
the crop is looking poorly. In Brown,
Christian. Clay. Coles. Efingham, Fulton,
Greene, Hancock, Madison, Pulaski, Rich
land. Stephenson, Wabash. Wayne and
Woodford counties the fields generally are
bare. but the wheat is looking we'll In
seventeen Indiana counties reports show
bare fields, but fair growth and no injury
In Michigan and Wisconsin the fields are
we'll protected and the outlook is regarded
as very favorable. In Cherokee, Cherry,
Ellis, Jefferson, Lyon and Pawnee coun-
ties, of Kansas, the prospects are regarded
as very poor. In many instances the plant
is just alive and the fields are generally ex-
posed and bare. In Fush, Crawford, DON
aphin, Lincoln, Miami and Nemaha coun-
ties, of Kansas, the prospects of the crop
are regarded as fairly good.

Henry George and Free Land.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-In the regular Sun
day meeting of socialists at II West Lake
street to-day one of the speakers named
Herman denounced the militia as a stand
ing menace to labor. a Mr.. Peterson
declared trades unions and strikes failures.
The cry of the worNngman. he said, should
be Henry George and free land.p Social
ism would not do because so few understood
what socialism meant. AT this point Mrs.
Parsons, who was present, demanded
what does socialism mean but free land?"
Mr.. Peterson: well, in that case we
stand on the same ground. and am glad of
it, Mrs. Parsons then took the floor and
denounced anarchlsm as simply all extreme
of socialism. She called upon the laboring
man to be prepared to enforce his rights,
whether it be by ballots, bullets or dyna-
mite. Socialist Lucy here interposed that
there were detectives in the hall and that
reporters were present ready to serve as
states evidence. The meeting soon after
ward adjourned.

West Virginians Wrought Up Over
an AtrocEous Murder.

WHEELING. W. Va, Feb. 13.-The COM
munity of Timber Ridge, small hamlet
fifteen miles from Paw Paw. W. Va, is
very much excited over the killing of Mil
lard White. of this city, by man named
Miller. 1t seems that Miller, who
is desperate character, had been. living
with q married woman named Wallace,
who is separated from her husband. The
fact that Miller has been livingUwith the
woman has created much scandal in town
and feeling ran so high that the people de-
terlnined to tar and feather them.
On Saturday night party of
men, headed by Wallace, the woman;s hus-
band, started for the house with this inten-
ton. White was persuaded to join the
mob. and was the first to en-
ter the building. Miller was
armed with shotgun, which he
discharged as the crowd passed in. The
charge struck White in the head, killing him
instantly. The crowd fed panic-stricken, al
lowing Miller to escape, and he is still at
large. White was in the town to attend
his mothers funeral

THE LOSSES ENORMOUS.
Condition of the Cattle in M lonrana
Discussed by One of the stock.

Discussed by One of the Stock
men.
Special to the Globe.
FIT. KEoGH, Mont, Feb. 13.-In round
numbers there were on Jan. l 200, 900 head
of cattle and IS. 600 sheep on the ranges north
and south of the Yellowstone river. within
a radius of 100 miles of this point. Up to
that date stock had not suffered much from
the severity of the winter. but during
January and the half of February Just
closing, storms have been of unprecedented
frequency and the temperature has aver
aged the lowest for fifteen years. 1t is
not possible to accurately estimate the
losses. but they have been enormous, in
some places amounting to the practical
annhilation of whole herds. George W.
Dearng, a Tongue river stockman, has
just returned from an examination of the
condition of his cattle, and takes the fol-
lowing gloomy view of the situation:
At Point Ignite, where my herd is located,
saw the most piteous and heartrending
sight that ever met my gaze. AS far as
could see up and down the river cattle were
standing knee deep in the snow, unable to OBJ
tain blade of grass for sustenance, and
gnawing the wood of the willows as a last re-
sort. In space fifty yards square l counted
twenty-five dead beasts. and cowboy told
me there were fully 1000 dead between Lig-
mite and Moon creek, few miles above.
The living cattle are almost unable to move
about, as their feet and ankles are but raw,
masses OF bleeding flesh from having been
cut at every step by the crusted snow They
occasionally go upon the ice in search of wa
ter, and, finding an air hole, tumble into the
river. Men cutting ice yesterday saw thirty
cattle drowned in two hours. They could
not be driven away, as they were mad with
thirst. Trail cattle are dying by the hum
dreds every day, and if chinooks do not set in
in a day or two many stockmen will have no
herds to corral at the opening of spring.

NEW YORK. Feb. 13.-Ex-Gov. st. John,
before temperance meeting in Chickering
hall to-day, delivered an address in which
occurred these utterances:
I have been unable to say bad things
against even New York saloonkeeper. 1
don't find it in my heart to abuse man who
is engaged in lawful business. l cannot
distinguish morally between the saloonkeeper
and the law that lets him sell rum nor down
him and those who make the law, between
him and a church deacon who votes for
man who makes such Il law. They will all be
punched on the great judgment day. The
Almighty wont bother to try them separ-
ately. and they will all be put to the same
punishment.

when the enemy retreated. Borotti applied

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-An incipient seam
dial has just come to light which will un-
doubtedly soon be fully ventilated in the di-
vorce court, in which Mrs. Meredith. q
lively young married woman. the daughter
OF the Rev. D. d. Harris, pastor of the
Welsh Presbyterian church, corner Sanga-
mon and West Monroe streets, and several
prominent members of the congregation are
involved. Last Friday evening Thomas
Meredith, music typesetter, returning to
his residence, 1913 Aberdeen street, at a late
hour. found the fires out and his two
children, one a babe, suffering from the
cold, and crying bitterly for their mother.
After vainly searching in several of the
nelghboring flats for his truant wife he went
to saloon. corner of Harrison and Aber-
deen streets, and there found her in a rear
room in company with Richard Pritchard,
a pressed-brlck contractor, who

to the Merediths. Both were fast approach-
ing to complete inebriety. Meredith inl-
plored his wife to go home with him to
their children. She emphatically refused,
so he beat hasty retreat, but soon re-
turned with reinforcements in the person
OF Pritchard's wife. She was in towering
rage, and, after throwing the glasses on the
floor and smashing them to pieces, flew at
the intoxicated couple and gave them both
severe shaking up. The proprietor,
nearing the rumpus, appeared upon the
scene and lncontinently fired them out on
the street. Mrs. Meredith, at one time the
belle of the West side and great social
favorite. has for years been chronic
drunkard, and has neglected her children
and her husband, who still passionately
adores her. AS ali efforts have, h, wever,
failed to reform her he has at last resolved
to take his children away and apply for
divorce. Mrs. Pritchard claims her hus-
band has long been intimate with other
women and will also endeavor to procure a
divorce. The parties are all highly con-
nected and the affair is causing much eN-
citement among the members of the
church.
